The RCI’s investigation report is due to be finalised and will be made known by the end of the year, said PBS president Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan, who is also the deputy chief minister, in his policy speech during the PBS’ 28th Annual Delegates Congress yesterday.
He expressed his confidence that the commission will consider the input of all the 211 witnesses who have testified during the hearing. In his speech, he also mentioned that the hearing had been halted due to the foreign intrusion of the armed group who claimed to be the followers of Sultan Sulu last February in Lahad Datu.
The foreign intrusion of the group was allegedly assisted by PTIs in Sabah and was proved that the incessant worries of the people of Sabah on the widespread existence of PTIs and their ability to jeopardise the peace had been well founded, he said.
Pairin then called on the commission to make brave and holistic
recommendations that will address the issue. He also gave his assurance to the people of Sabah that PBS shall render all its support to the recommendations made and will ensure the relevant agencies act on them.
“Although this might require drastic actions, but we have to be ready to do anything to address the PTIs problems in Sabah,” he said.
He added that failure to address the issue may affect the sovereignty of Sabah and Malaysia.
Additionally, it may also reduce the people’s support to Barisan Nasional (BN) as they will feel that the PTIs issue had been ignored. “I urge the Federal Government to adopt the recommendations made and have the political will to take immediate and effective actions, including strict enforcement of the law to address the issue.”
well said Tan Sri... that is what we wanted(expected) long time ago....
ReplyDeleteKerajaan harus menyelesaikan masalah PATI di Sabah. Ini akan menjejaskan sokongan rakyat kepada BN.
ReplyDeleteThat's the truth thou
ReplyDeletekes terbaru mengenai pegawai ambank ditembak mati oleh PATI patut jadi pengajaran kepada BN supaya tidak memandang remah kewujudan warga asing di negara ini..
ReplyDeletetiada yang pandang remeh kewujudan warga asing di negara ni.lebih2 lagi PATI..kehadiran mereka sentiasa menjadikan rakyat merasa keselamatan mereka tergugat.
Deletepara majikan juga perlu berhati2 ketika mengambil pekerja.. jangan ambil jalan mudah menggaji warga asing sedangkan masih ramai warga tempatan yang boleh melakukan kerja itu jika diberikan tawaran menarik..
ReplyDeletemasalahnya,ketamakan majikan..mau kos yang paling rendah dan untung yang lebih tinggi tapi tidak fikir kesan jangka panjang tindakan mereka mengupah pekerja luar terutama PATI.
DeleteKempen "Boikot PATI" dicadangkan bagi memperhebat usaha mengatasi masalah pendatang asing tanpa izin (PATI) yang sekian lama dihadapi di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Jonistan Bangkuai (BN-Kiulu) berkata kempen tersebut termasuk membataskan peluang pendatang warga asing tidak sah mencari pendapatan di negeri ini seperti memberi pekerjaan dan menyewakan tanah atau premis perniagaan kepada mereka.
Delete"Bukan mahu menafikan rezeki mereka, tetapi kita sebagai rakyat di Sabah seharusnya menikmati keistimewaan sebagai warganegara Malaysia, bukannya mereka. Mungkin ada pihak yang terjejas, contohnya pengusaha restoran atau pihak industri binaan. Tetapi kenapa di negeri lain mereka boleh lakukannya tanpa menggaji PATI."
ReplyDeleteKesukaran PATI untuk mendapat pekerjaan atau menjalankan perniagaan di Sabah mungkin boleh membantutkan hasrat lebih ramai warga asing datang ke Sabah secara haram. Menurut Jonistan, kempen tersebut melengkapkan usaha yang dilancarkan oleh kerajaan pusat untuk mengatasi masalah PATI di Sabah seperti penubuhan RCI dan pelbagai operasi mencari PATI oleh agensi-agensi berkaitan.
